Decision Made!

Officially announcing that our son (who still does not have a name) DOES have a bedding set.  Here's what we ordered:

Bed set, valance and mobile

 
 
 
 We plan to remove the bumper that comes with the set (SIDS risk) and replace it with this mesh, breathable bumper.
 
Wall Decals

 
 
  
  
 We'd like to eventually add these cute little guys to keep the safari/jungle theme going!

                                       This little lion was our inspiration (thank you Georgia).  He will look perfect in the nursery!  We are so blessed to have such wonderfully supportive friends/family!

  
We also plan to add on this cute little guy--we hear he'll serve as a wonderful night light in the nursery! 

We are very happy with our decision.  We really did not want a stereotypical theme, a lot of blue or anything too matchy-matchy.  I wanted vibrant colors, but not overly colorful and also didn't want to sacrifice quality!  Kevin wanted something manly, yet soft.  This set fits the bill perfectly. The textures and colors are just vibrant enough, the reviews on quality are great and Kevin loved it.  So I forced myself to order it before I got the opportunity to change my mind.  

We are (finally) done with the "planning" part of the nursery preparation.  Now, it's time to put all of the items to use!  PHEW!  I am so relieved to have this behind us--bedding sets no longer consume my life or creep in/out of my dreams at night!

Now, on to the next project--Baby Boy needs a name!  We each have a favorite--now we have to agree on one!  Wish us luck and don't forget to vote for your favorite (or least favorites):

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today!  Hard to believe!  Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up).  I weighed in at a whopping 109.8!  My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special!  Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!).  Kevin's response "WHOA!"  And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!"  Ha!  So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain!  I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle."  Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol!  I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...

One Decision Down... 18+ Years Worth Left to Go!

So, in the scheme of things this probably should have been one of the easiest decisions to make, but Kevin and I just could not agree on a crib bedding set (or theme for that matter) for our little man's nursery.  We finally got it down to two and left those on the computer to stare at for a few days.   Well, Kevin finally compromised (okay--he gave in) and my set won!  So, our son now has a bedding set and a safari themed bedroom! (on order).  Next decision (prone to more disagreements, I'm sure) is finding our little man a name!  If you ask Kevin, his name is Aisen, but I have yet to agree on that (more on the great name debate later!).  For now, here is the set we're ordering our son tonight!  What do you think?!
